GOD in the CLOUDS

I definately been looking to the skies lately for reminder of God's presence. I been at awe with God's mystery. The way He works, how VAST He is, His design seen out in nature:
The trees branches lift up as if in praising it's Gardener, the winds whisper God's power, the Lord's majesty shines in the stars of the sky, the great mountains demonstrate God's might, the forever-flowing rivers, represent God eternal and overflowing of goodness... all of creation, tell somehow of the great Glory, the great something out there, of something close to us.
When I tend to lose track of who and what I'm living for... I am reminded that wherever and everywhere that I am in creation or with people, I am surrounded by worship. It all goes to Him.
He is worthy of it.
And so reminded of the great presence that is drawing close to me, I look to the skies.
I wondered of what Bible says about significance of clouds... I read through when Moses was in Egypt. God used clouds to represent His presence showing His people that He was really there- He hovered over a mountain (a crazy show of lightning and fire shook the mountain too!), He descended as a great cloud of fire to literally keep enemies from attacking Israel. These people followed this great cloud to their destination of land that God promised them.
I been seeing some pretty cool formations. I love the beauty God brings to light.

God met Moses face to face. I am truly amazed with that. God surrounded Moses with a cloud. How I would love that God would bring a cloud round me and engulf me with His presence like that. I read that and am inspired. "God I want my meetings with you like that. Not only when I am with a group of people, but in my own meetings with you day to day".
It's cool, the fact is, He has been surrounding me with "a great cloud". That cloud has been peace. Has been grace. Has been patience. Has been love. Joy. Wonder. Mystery. HOPE.
God doesn't only draw clouds to dance in the sky, but in every way He surrounds our soul with His presence and pours LIFE into us. Our whole life we could know God and still that is not enough to know all mysteries of God. He has much more of His mystery to pour out unto us... He offers us eternity to get to know Him!

"The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it."
